Rising Cancer Rates, COVID Vaccines, and the mRNA Debate with Kim Bright
At 41:30 · chapter starts 40:30
Andrew Colvett introduces the alarming statistic: global cancer incidence rose approximately 42% over the last measured decade, from 14.1 million to 20 million new cases annually, with deaths more than doubling since 1980 [1] — Kim Bright "Global cancer incidence rose 42% over the last measured decade, from 14.1 million to 20 million new cases annually. Senate committee doctor…" 40:40 . A Senate committee hearing recently featured doctors suggesting a link between the COVID-19 vaccines and this cancer surge. Kim Bright, with over 50 years in the natural health field, validates these concerns, listing myocarditis, blood clotting, neurological conditions, autoimmune disorders, and increased inflammation as documented vaccine effects — all of which she argues create conditions where cancer can thrive. She is particularly alarmed that Moderna is now proposing an individualized mRNA cancer vaccine (Intysmiran) as the solution [2] — Andrew Colvett "Global cancer up 42% in a decade: Global cancer incidence rose approximately 42% over the last measured decade, from 14.1 million to 20 mil…" 41:09 . A clip of the Moderna CEO describing the phase 2 trial of 157 melanoma patients plays, and Colvett calls it 'terrifying.' Bright frames it as the ultimate pharmaceutical trap: using mRNA to treat a condition that mRNA may have caused. Senator Blumenthal is mentioned as still defending vaccine safety, which Colvett attributes to Big Pharma influence.
Cancer Up 42% — Is the COVID Vaccine to Blame?
Global cancer incidence rose 42% over the last measured decade, from 14.1 million to 20 million new cases annually. Senate committee doctors have suggested a link between the COVID-19 vaccine and cancer. Kim Bright argues that mRNA technology causes increased inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and conditions that may accelerate cancer development — and that Big Pharma's proposed solution is yet another mRNA vaccine.
